you will remember that early in the 2008 presidential campaign, barack obama signaleded that he was going to have a different foreign policy than george bush, less black and white. and he chose as his example, iran. he argued that simply pressuring the country was not a policy, and obama offered to talk to iran's leaders to try to establish a dialogue and reduce tensions. well, two years into his presidency, obama's iran policy looks a lot like george w. bush's. pressure, pressure, and more pressure. now the punitive tactics have paid off in some measure. iran faces economic problems. but they are also having a perverse impact on the country as i witnessed last week. the sanctions are stifling growth, though not as much as you might imagine. the basic effect is to weaken civil society and strengthen the iranian state. the opposite of what we should be trying to do. by some estimates, iran's revolutionary guard, the hardline element of the armed forces supported by the supreme leader, now controls 40% of the economy. is that the goal of our policy? in fact, what is the goal of our policy?
